Welcome to the World of Saving and Sharing Seeds

The Seed Library is a collection of open-pollinated and heirloom seeds that you can borrow from to plant and grow at home. By saving seeds as a community we help create local seed stocks that are better acclimated to our unique desert climate and which support an abundant and genetically diverse landscape. We support gardeners from beginner to expert, and help you learn how to grow, harvest, and save seeds.

Our seed collection depends on donations and seasonality. You'll see different seeds available at different times, so check in frequently to see what's available. See a list of seeds you can borrow.

The seeds that make up the collection have come to us through the generous donations of local and national seed companies, business, and individual. We'd especially like to acknowledge Aravaipa Heirlooms, BBB Seeds, Botanical Interests, Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, High Mowing Organic Seeds, Seed Savers Exchange, Garden Medicinals & Culinaries, Gardens of California, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, and many, many more.
